Lucite
is a synthetic polymer of methyl methacrylate, a thermoplastic
and transparent plastic. Lucite is extremely hard and durable
and because it is often clear it simulates glass.

are made of Lucite such as the Juno
Pelvic Exerciser.
Commonly used
for constructing residential and commercial aquariums, spectator
protection in ice hockey stadiums and in motorcycle helmet visors.
Allergy
Or Toxin Warnings

Cleaning

Smooth and nonporous, Lucite is easy to clean with soap & water
or antibacterial sex toy cleaners.
The material very strong and is nearly indestructible. However,
be careful putting it on abrasive surfaces as Lucite is easily
scratched.

Waterbased & Silicone
Recycling
Level
Lucite
plastic is not easily recycled. It is considered a group 7 plastic
among recycled plastics and is not collected for recycling in
most communities. Large pieces can be reformed into other useful
objects if they have not suffered too much stress, crazing, or
cracking, but this accounts for only a very small portion of the
plastic waste. In a landfill, lucite plastics, like many other
plastics, are not readily biodegradable. Some lucite plastics
are highly flammable and must be protected from sources of combustion.
